To say that this election has brought out the best and worst in people is an understatement. I'll be glad when it's over. I do have to say, that although I post political articles at times, I can't remember ever insinuating that anyone who didn't have my opinions or was voting for someone that I thought shouldn't be elected, was a racist, homophobic, women hating sub-human with no education. I hadn't realized several of my friends thought so little of me as a human being.
And inasmuch as I can't see how people can vote for someone, who in my opinion cannot be trusted with our country, I don't feel you are a drooling idiot who needs to be shamed and put in their place. I don't feel the need to label you. Stop with the fucking labels already.
I was a democrat all my life, voted for Bill Clinton twice. It was during his second term that I realized that the Democrats were not, in my mind, who they purported to be. So I decided to do some homework and did all I could to educate myself on the parties, their records and what they cared for and how they went about running the country.
Do I love everything about the Republican party? Nope. I don't know how anyone can agree with a President, party, or left or right all of the time and on everything. But I needed to make a decision on the overall pluses and minuses; which I did.
I believe in my heart of hearts the the Clintons are very corrupt. I don't believe that Hillary Clinton could tell the truth if her life depended on it and I honestly don't believe she gives a shit about anyone but herself. Do I like everything about Donald Trump. Nope. But again, I believe he can make our country strong and proud again. I believe we need borders. I believe if you love America enough you will come in legally; just as our ancestors did through Ellis Island.
This does not make me a piece of white trash who never got out of the 4th grade and is a christian nut job.
My opinions, my thoughts and that's that. So, with the election just a few days away, so many friends have laid claim to knowing what is best for our country and for me, To my face I have been lectured on "how could you, I know you and your family, you are good people. Let me tell you where you are wrong" And if you dare to disagree with them, social media at its finest. Trash, bash and label all who oppose you. The media does it, the candidates do it; just didn't expect friends to.
I have thick skin, I guess I'm just disappointed in that when someone says to me that the are for diversity, being one's own self and not to be judged it only means if you agree with them.
Are their people like that on both sides; absolutely. But this is my blog and I'm just speaking about my experience.
And for all of you who are "moving out of the country" if Trump is elected; I'll bet if celebrities said that when Obama was running they would be labeled racist.
It amazes me that if you don't like Hillary Clinton or didn't like Obama, you must hate women and blacks. Jesus Christ; isn't it racist to vote simply for a color or genitalia type?
I don't care what sex or color our president has or is. I want them to be the best for us, AMERICA.
Anyway, rant is over. Just had to vent after reading just another post in which all people supporting Trump are stupid idiots who hate everyone.
Please get out and vote on Tuesday
